Well now that Christmas is over..

What my dad ended up with is basically a new record player and Cakewalk's Pyro
for the recording. We got him a new computer so we could dedicate one just for
music. I installed Win2k3 on it and installed the Audigy 2 Platinum I got him.
His 400 CD changer is hooked up to the computer so he can remotely control it
(like a jukebox). It is also setup to stream the audio to any computer that is
on the network using Windows Media Player. I've also done some guitar recording
which turned out pretty well (the recording, not my playing).

Anyways we have burned only a few records to CDs. Pyro is pretty simple to use
(I've used Sonar for years so I'm used to how to edit and all). We record both
sides and then split the tracks and do any editing to remove the silence at the
beginning and end and while flipping the record over. The software has controls
to remove pops and other noise caused by the record but to me it changes the
sound too much. So basically we only do very minor filtering to try to keep the
quality of the recording. Pyro doesn't support CD-Text so we have been saving
each track to the hard drive as WAV files and then using Nero to do the actual
burning.

So that is how it is so far with our setup. We'll probably get it tweaked and
have a system in place to make better recordings.
